Compatibitility with HP Print Servers
The appliance will work with any HP print server with firmware version x.03 and above.
Compatibitility with Other (Non-HP) Print Servers
Any print server that supports LPD should work with the appliance. The proper LPD remote queue name
for the print server might have to be known. Many print servers will work without specifying a remote
queue name (use the default HP PRINT SERVER setting); however, some require a special string in
order to work. The LPD remote queue name can be obtained from the print server vendor.
Product Updates
When new firmware or other device-specific support information is available for the appliance, the
appliance can be notified automatically. On the TCP/IP page, a field "Check for print server appliance
firmware updates during each web login" can be checked to enable this feature. If this is checked and
new firmware or support information is available, the picture of the applianceappliance image on the
Overview page in the web interface will change.
This feature is enabled by default and can be disabled by unchecking this box. Each time an image is
retrieved, it is logged like any other visit to HP's website. In addition, each request includes the serial
number of the requesting unit. HP uses this to provide support information relative to the specific unit.
No personally identifiable information such as user name, email address, or physical address is gathered
as part of this process. HP does monitor web logs in order to understand our customers and improve our
products. All web transactions are subject to HP's privacy policy which can be found
